Have we ever won a pre-season game at Casey?

Off memory we've lost games out there to Bulldogs, North, West Coast and St Kilda.

BBP that does not prove much.

Up till now it has not matter who or where we play the result has usually been a loss

    That's the way I like it. Three hard games in the preseason will tell us exactly where we are and we can only get better by playing the better sides, even if they are only practice matches.

    I also agree about the issues Casey Fields has with access and egress from the car parks at the ground. It's an absolute shocker and they should something about it

    I agree Jack, hard praccy games are not for wins, but to prepare us for the hard work & season ahead.

    hard praccy games doesn't matter, if we are honest & up for the work ahead to start the climb. we already know we are down the bottom.

    it doesnt make the slightest difference how good your pre-season opponents are, you stuill come up against the same sides all 23 rounds of the season proper

    if anything you want the softest opponents possible in the preseason just so you can build a bit of confidence and momentum

    if we get absolutely belted by good sides in the PS and everyone drops their heads I imagine you won't be so in favour of a tough PS draw

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
